Fabulous Fall Series ~ Day 5

September 29, 2015 By Deanna Piercy 4 Comments

When daytime temperatures drop into the 60s and nights get a little chilly, I refer to that as “puzzle weather”. There is something rather peaceful about working on a puzzle in the evenings – maybe with some music playing quietly in the background. I also enjoy a good game of Scrabble or if we have a group, Cards Against Humanity.

Let’s prepare for quiet evenings at home by setting out a puzzle for the family to work on. Maybe pull out a couple of games to play, too. I’m going to clear space on our coffee table for the Scrabble board. We have a fairly nice version which spins to face each player but take a look at this one:

Start thinking about fun things to do indoors as the weather gets cooler. If you have kids, ask them for suggestions, too.

Our assignments for Day 5:

  1. Set up a puzzle for the family to work on. Amazon has lots of great puzzles but you can also usually find them at thrift stores.
  2. Pull out a couple of games or set out a pack of cards. Turn off the television and bond with your family around the game table.
  3. Take a look at the printable checklist you made on Day 1 and pick an item or two to work on.

Treat of the day:

Indulge in a new game, puzzle or even a fresh pack of cards then schedule a family game night within the next few days. Bake some cookies or buy a favorite snack item.

    I’m so totally addicted to Scrabble that it’s not even funny! I have a version on my computer that talks, and also have a version that’s both print and braille that – like your one – spins so it’s facing each player as needed. I started playing more to improve so I could beat my brother, and now I’m addicted to it.

    I also have cards, silly putty, and a couple of brainteaser puzzles to easy reach.

    I know this isn’t quite the same, but I have a roleplaying game happening Thursday… With my brother, my Dad, and a family friend. It’s not what you had in mind, I don’t think, but it’s still spending time with the family playing something, so it technicaly counts… Even though it’s not a new thing for the season, but happens every couple of weeks.

      Oh, that definitely counts! As for Scrabble, David and I used to play with his mom and sister when we were dating. Fond memories…

      Wow! That’s unusually warm for this time of year, isn’t it? It’s rainy and 61 degrees here today.
